2.2.6 Soils<br />
The distribution of soils within the <strong>Goose</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>Watershed</strong> was determined through the<br />
Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County (USDOA – SCS, 1980). The hydrologic soil types<br />
found in the <strong>Goose</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>Watershed</strong> are B and C. A description of each soil type and<br />
distribution within the watershed are shown in Table 7. Figure 9 shows the location of<br />
the hydrologic soil groups in the <strong>Goose</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>Watershed</strong>.<br />

Description (USDOA –SCS, 1980) Distribution with<br />
<strong>Goose</strong> <strong>Creek</strong><br />
B Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet.<br />
These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately<br />
well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine<br />
texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a<br />
JUMPER<br />
moderate rate of water transmission<br />
C Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet.<br />
These consist chiefly of soils that have a layer that impedes the<br />
downward movement of water of soils that have moderately fine<br />
texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water<br />
transmission.<br />
